Advanced Technology in the Spinal Cord Injury Program

Several premier biomedical technology companies have partnered with the WakeMed Spinal Cord Injury Program - based on the expertise of our therapists and reputation - to offer highly advanced therapeutic equipment. The technology available at WakeMed helps patients regain their strength, reduce pain and enjoy the benefits (both physical and emotional) of being upright. Some of the equipment and technology patients may experience during their stay include:

The Vector Gait & Safety System - Helps support the patient's weight allowing them to work on walking without the fear of falling. WakeMed was just the third hospital in the United States to bring this technology to patients.
